Dan Goodman : The reason I ask is I notice the discord Bot app has the same features and more of the discord app

Dylan Sather (Pipedream) : The Discord app is the Pipedream-owned OAuth app. When you auth it, it adds a Pipedream bot to your workspace that allows us to listen for events like new messages. Its primary purpose is as a trigger, therefore.

The Discord Bot app lets you add your own bot’s credentials. Like you mentioned, that opens up access to any Discord API endpoint. Discord actually forbids the use of your own user access token on many API endpoints. Instead, they require you use your own bot.

We need to update these docs, but more info on the Discord Bot app here: https://docs.pipedream.com/apps/discord/#discord-bot
